When you're not carrying an object from point A to point B, you're descending into dungeons to restore grace to the four elemental crystals jotted around the world. Most dialogue is either repetitive nonsense spouted by random townspeople, or requests for you to perform fetch quests. The story has not changed a bit since the original release. Sadly, our standards have risen nowadays and we require far more in terms of narrative than this game has to offer. No doubt in 1987 Final Fantasy had a deep and immersive story. The sound effects are adequate, though you will find yourself gritting your teeth at the sound of the "battle commence" noise for reasons I'll explain shortly. Tracks of note include Ahead On Our Way, a song reused in several other Final Fantasys (you may know it as the FFXII main theme) and the suitably epic World Map theme.

They have been replaced with recorded versions of all the tunes and sound excellent through the PSP speakers, though they're even better through headphones. The faux-3D feel that they have does a really good job of making this game applicable for a modern audience.įinal Fantasy games are renowned for their fantastic soundtracks and, while not as celebrated as FFVII or FFVIII, Final Fantasy I is no exception. Having said that all spell effects have been improved substantially. While this can be said to give the game a retro feel, the reality is that it can be quite jarring to see your nicley detailed character moving so jerkily. Animations are a mixed bag, with walking and fighting having only two frames of movement. The backgrounds during battles have a particularly striking painting quality, allowing the bold-coloured character sprites to contrast heavily against them. All of which are improved substantially since the previous versions of the game, especially the incredibly detailed boss sprites. The wonderfully clear PSP widescreen allows relatively high resolution and colour depth, which shows off the detail of the characters, enemies and backgrounds.

The in-game graphics are, in terms of 2D sprites, very pretty.
